49. I'm still having a hard time believing this.

Because about 90% of the white women I know despise Trump and voted against him. Of course, I have a select group of friends and acquaintances who align with my values, but outside of the red states, I just am not buying this. I think this number was taken from exit polls on election day which was heavily skewed toward republicans. Most Democrats voted by mail or drop box and nobody is "exit polling" them.

White (repug) voter stats tend to be exacerbated by the South and the Heartland states..... marmar Nov 2020 #27
